Brehm School - Speech and Language

Brehms Speech-Language Department employs five full-time speech-language pathologists.

Brehm SLPs evaluate speech, language, and related skills; establish contexts and frequencies for therapies based on individual needs; and develop, implement, and report progress on individual therapy plans.

SLPs communicate with Brehm staff, parents, and other professionals on a regular basis regarding the students progress and its impact on their academic, social, and personal issues.

The Speech-Language Department provides evaluation and therapy services to address needs in the following areas: * Speech Articulation/Intelligibility * Auditory/Listening Skills * Oral Language Skills * Language-Based Literacy Skills * Written Expression * Pragmatic and Social Communication Skills * Cognitive and Metacognitive Aspects of Communication

Language based programs used systemically throughout the program include the following: The Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program for Reading, Spelling, and Speech (LiPS); Seeing Stars-Symbol Imagery for Phonemic Awareness, Sight Words, and Spelling (SI); and Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking (V/V).

Brehm is also a provider of Scientific Learnings Fast ForWord — a research-supported, computer-based program that develops and strengthens memory, attention, processing rate, and sequencing — the cognitive skills essential for learning and reading success.
